CinemaNow - In Search of History - The Knights Templar

The legendary Knights of Templar guard the secrets of Christianity. The order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon is founded in 1118 by a Crusader named Hugues de Payen to protect Christians making pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The Knights quickly grow into one of the wealthiest and most powerful organizations in Europe. Housed in the Temple of Solomon, the Knights are said to be in possession of an enormous and valuable treasure. Were the Knights of Templar protectors of the Holy Grail? Were they the guardians of the descendants of Jesus? Or where they dupes of the Pope?
